Recall alert: Utz recalls Zapp’s, Dirty brand chips over salmonella concerns

Utz has recalled two brands of chips over concerns of salmonella contamination.

The recall affects Zapp’s and Dirty potato chips, the Food and Drug Administration said.

The alert was issued after the company was notified that a seasoning with dry milk powder, which came from California Dairies, Inc. and came from a third-party supplier, may have salmonella. The seasoning tested negative for contamination before it was used, but Utz still recalled limited varieties of Zapp’s and Dirty chips out of an abundance of caution.

There have been no reports of illness connected to the chips, according to the FDA.

The recall affects the following items:
